Yahoo: NFL formally opens investigation into Redskins tampering of Haynesworth

[MTK]

Anyway back to Al.

I like the idea of the NFL adopting a 2 day window to begin negotations prior to the opening of free agency. Teams have "tampered" for years. Might as well just make it official.

Yeah I really dont see a problem with it in the first place. It doesnt matter how much a team tampers. The player still has to sign the contract when FA starts. If a team makes a better offer hes going to take them over the "tampering team".

It would actually make FA more fun for the fans. Im tired of staying up and maybe getting 1 or 2 signings in the first hours of FA. I think this way more players sign early and fans will stay up to see if their team lands a top player.

And someone else brought up the point that the Titans had plenty of time to make AH the same, if not a better deal. Like, years. They are complaining about a few hours? The decision ultimately was AHs, not Tennessee's, so really, there seems to be little ground for them to stand on. Maybe I'm wrong...but really, who cares? They obviously didn't want him for that price & Snyder was able to pay up, as usual. They're just mad that Snyder has more money in his left pocket then their whole organization does. F 'em.
